What engine oil is recommended for the Golf 1.4T?
1 Answers
The Golf 1.4T is suitable for fully synthetic engine oil with a specification of 5W-40. Below are the differences between fully synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils: 1. Different Quality: Fully synthetic engine oil is a high-grade product among engine oils. It is derived from ethylene and propylene dispersed from natural gas or crude oil, which undergo polymerization, catalysis, and other complex chemical reactions to form a lubricant composed of large molecules. Semi-synthetic engine oil contains a smaller percentage of high-performance fluids and includes conventional mineral oil, utilizing the poorer components of crude oil. 2. Different Usage Environments: Fully synthetic engine oil has a broader temperature range and a longer service life, offering engine protection even with lower viscosity. Semi-synthetic engine oil is not suitable for use in low-temperature regions and has a shorter service life.
